The '''[[Talk.Origins Archive]]''' web page titled [http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/list.html '''''Index to Creationist Claims'''''], consists of a list of rebuttals to alleged creationist arguments against evolutionism. Much of the list was subsequently published in 2005 as ''The Counter-Creationism Handbook''.
Some of these claims are regularly used by creationists, some are uncommon, and some are not used at all. Not all of the objections raised by [[Talk.Origins Archive|Talk.Origins]] are incorrect, but it is important that creationists respond to this anti-creationism list.
This page links to responses from creationists to each of the "rebuttals" found on the Talk.Origin's website.

[[pt:Index to Creationist Claims]]
[[Image:Talkorigins.jpg|right]]
The '''[[Talk.Origins Archive]]''' web page titled [http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/list.html '''''Index to Creationist Claims'''''], consists of a list of rebuttals to alleged creationist arguments against evolutionism. Much of the list was subsequently published in 2005 as ''The Counter-Creationism Handbook''.
Some of these claims are regularly used by creationists, some are uncommon, and some are not used at all. Not all of the objections raised by [[Talk.Origins Archive|Talk.Origins]] are incorrect, but it is important that creationists respond to this anti-creationism list.
This page links to responses from creationists to each of the "rebuttals" found on the Talk.Origin's website.
